RolexSea-Dweller 43

Offered by a private collector, this full-set Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 126600 is presented with its display box, outer box, warranty card, sleeve, booklet, swing tags and spare links. The watch shows some minor signs of wear and its condition is consistent with the vendor’s ‘A’ grading.

To celebrate the Sea-Dweller’s 50th anniversary, Rolex introduced the reference 126600 in 2017. Still a fully-equipped dive instrument, some key updates were made from the previous generation. The case was increased to 43mm, and for the first time on a Sea-Dweller, Rolex applied its iconic cyclops date magnifier. Fans of vintage references will appreciate the introduction of the red “SEA-DWELLER” script - a nod to the first models released in the late 1960s. A trip-lock screw-down crown and helium escape valve afford the watch with an impressive 4000 feet of water resistance.

Attached to the case is an Oyster bracelet that incorporates a dive extension and Rolex’s Glidelock system into the clasp, providing the wearer with up to 20mm of tool-free adjustment. Housed underneath the screw-down caseback is Rolex’s latest generation calibre 3235 movement, which features a 70-hour power reserve, Chronometer certification, and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.
